A Handy Pocket Atlas.

An attempt to put in pocket size the
contents of a large reference Atlas is
usually accompanied by rough, inacu-
rate, and inelegant engraving and
printing, but in the New Pocket Atlas
of the world, published by Ivason,
Brakeman Il Co., 753 and 755 Broadway,
New York, this is not the fact. Nine
ty-one maps containing nearly every
geographical point of interest through
out the world, are given, and each is a
gem of the engraver's art. nelicately
yet distinctly colored, these maps are
exquisite illustrations Of the best color
printing to-day obtainable. While the
maps leave nothing to be desired by
way of fullness, they are fully up to
date, and show every recent discovery
or change of boundary.
One hundred and twelve pages of
terse, well arranged, and accurate in
formation concerning every important
country or state on the globe, follow
